Since when does SLO have a Data science major? Isn’t it a Stats major with a DS minor? Just clarifying for future applicants.

Of course you are correct (as always)! I have made the edit. I applied Data Science everywhere I could and was thinking of my Davis acceptance. Apologies.

Can you explain me please, what constitutes as “SLO GPA” ??? Are those the major specific and required courses described in their website under each major categories?

SLO GPA is for Freshman only. 9-11th grades with an 8 semester honors point cap. You are a Transfer so it does not apply. Your GPA is calculated based on all CSU transferable class grades.
